I live over on the west side and unfortunately break ins are something you have to deal with. Either get an alarm or stuff your car way back in the driveway, which sometimes doesn’t matter. My old room mate had his truck broken into in our driveway and he had tinted windows so you couldn’t even see anything. A month ago I caught someone breaking into my neighbor’s car. I yelled at them out the window as soon as I heard the glass break and they ran off unable to grab anything.
I don’t know a lot about the types of people that steal but I am guessing it’s crack heads and kids. I know a crackhead wouldn’t do anything but run but kids would probably be more brazen. I’ve never seen anyone come back after they’d been spooked but I’m sure it’s happened.
